在中国文化“走出去”的时代背景之下，日本学术界对中国重要经济地区之一广东省的相关研究成为广东省海外形象建构及中日文化互鉴的重要内容之一。以日本科学研究费助成事业数据库中涉及广东省的研究课题为数据源，利用CiteSpace软件对学术群体、研究机构、核心内容等进行可视化分析，以呈现日本学术界广东研究的焦点聚集与发展趋势。结果显示，日本学术界广东研究所涉研究群体庞大、研究机构丰富，研究热点呈现“经济—国别—地域”的历时变化特征，主要集中于东亚地区华人华侨、中国宗族文化、广东产业经济等领域，聚焦地域国别、经济发展和语言文化三大核心聚类。通过对日本学术界广东研究学术成果的系统整理述评，一定程度上为今后广东文化的海外传播及形象书写等研究与政策制定提供了具有一定参考价值的“日本学术界广东省研究知识图谱”。

Under the background of Chinese culture goes global, the study of Guangdong Province, one of the important economic regions in China, has become one of the most important contents for the construction of Guangdong's overseas image and Sino-Japanese cultural mutual understanding by Japanese academics. In this paper, we take the research topics on Guangdong included in the Database of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(KAKEN) as the data source, and use CiteSpace to visualize and analyze the academic groups, research institutes, and core contents, in order to present the focuses and trends of the research on Guangdong Province in the Japanese academia. The results show that the research on Guangdong Province in Japanese academia involves a large number of research groups and research institutions, and the research hotspots show the characteristics of "economy-country-region" over time, mainly focusing on the Chinese diaspora in the East Asian region, the culture of Chinese clans, and the industrial economy of Guangdong, focusing on regional countries, economic development, and the development of Guangdong. The research focuses on the three core clusters of regional countries, economic development and language and culture. By systematically organizing and evaluating the academic achievements of Guangdong studies in the Japanese academic community, we can provide a "knowledge map of Guangdong studies in the Japanese academic community" with certain reference value for future research and policy making on the dissemination of Guangdong's culture overseas and image writing.
